Deputies arrest five in prostitution bust

Last Friday, the Mobile County Sheriff’s Office arrested five individuals in connection with a prostitution investigation at two spas within the city of Mobile.

The search warrants were executed at Ocean Sauna Spa, located at 3108 Airport Blvd., and Win Spa, located at 5256 U.S. Highway 90.

In a prepared statement, Mobile County Sheriff Sam Cochran said his officers began the investigation with information received through the CRIMETIPS feature of MCSO website.

“You can report any crime anonymously using our drop down menu,” Cochran said. “ Once the citizen completes the form and clicks “submit report” the information is sent automatically to the correct division within our office so that the investigation can begin immediately.”
